THE declarations in the party
platforms in states like Ohio, which
are regarded as "pivotal, always
possess a certain interest. This
year the Democratic party is first
in the field in that state, having
nominated state ticket and adopt
ed platform on Thursday last.
The most interesting declaration is
that relating to reduction of tax
alton. Upon this point the conyen-
ton demands such ''judicious re-
duction" of the present tariff as
shall result in producing a revenue
sufficient only to meet the expenses
of an economical administration of
the government, the payment of
liberal pensions and the payment of
the debt. In order to prevent the
accumulation of a surplus in the
National Treasury, the convention
fayors, if necessary, a reduction of
internal revenue taxes except on
liquors, and denounces any attempt
to abolish the tax on liquors for the
purpose of keeping up the tariff
system. The first part of the plank
has already become a familiar for
mnla, the latter part is unusually
definite for platform declaration.

THE anti-poverty party find it
difficult to make the common mind
understand how they are going to
make us all rich. In reply to the
question "What Impractical solution
does the anti poverty society offer
for the abolition of poverty ?". DIR.
McGlynn, who appears to be the
greatest apostle next to Henry
George, replied "When all taxes
but taxes on land are abolished peo-
pie will have plenty of chances to
work, because no man will be fool
enough to pay taxes on unimproved
land, but will employ men to i'm
prove it. With plenty of work for

LAFAYETTE, Jan. Judge Vnton, OF the
Circuit Court, has decided the somewhat cele-
brated suit Of jeremiah Simpson VS.. Moses
Fowler, tho banker. Some years ago Simpson
was in Fowler's employ, and on quitting,
claimed that the banker was indebted to him in
the sum of $64,0 900 for labor and his share OF
certain contracts extending over period of
years. Fowler, on the other hand, claimed
that he had made various settlements
with Simpson from time to time, and that he
had been paid large sums Of money, and that
instead of owing Simpson any money that gen.
of $24 900, which was evidenced by notes and
judgments. The case was bitterly fought here
in 1885. several leading attorneys being employed
on both sides. The jury disagreed and last
September, by agreement, the case was sub
mitted to Judge Vinton. Instead of recalling the
witnesses, the shorthand notes of the former
trial were written out and read to the court by
the stenographer. Judge Vinton has rendered
judgment for the defendant, Fowler, finding
that instead of Simpson having $40, 600 due him
over and above the notes and judgments held
by Nh. Fowler, he was in fact indebted to
Fowler in the sum of 1902 The case came here
from Benton county, and has attracted much
attention. Cofroth & Stuart for Fowler.
